Background
Gold Resource Corporation was founded by Bill and David Reid.
The focus of GRC is to establish profitable gold and silver production, and management believes its experience at building mines from their previous company, U.S. Gold Corporation, strengthens Gold Resource Corporation's prospects for success.
The Reids co-founded U.S. Gold Corporation (USGL), and ran the company since its inception in 1977 until August of 2005. During the 28 years USGL operated under the Reid's management, the company built or participated in 6 producing mines. Below are pictures of the mines of USGL during management of the Reids.
In July 2005 the Reid's engaged Mr. Rob McEwen, one of the most successful mining entrepreneurs of this era, to buy controlling interest in USGL. Mr. McEwen purchased 33% in USGL and became the company's largest shareholder. Mr. McEwen also assumed the management of USGL, which allowed the Reid's to depart the company and focus their attention on Gold Resource Corporation.
